Explore Ireland. Meet the sector. Build your network.

English Education Ireland annual conference brings together our Member Schools, international education agents, and global service providers. It’s an exclusive opportunity to meet leaders and decision-makers from the best accredited schools in Ireland.

English Education Ireland Conference

The EEI Annual Conference 2026 takes place at Druids Glen Resort, Co. Wicklow on 9th–10th September. This is Ireland’s only dedicated B2B conference for international education professionals and EEI-accredited English language colleges — built around pre-scheduled face-to-face meetings that give you direct access to decision-makers from the country’s top providers.

New for 2026: a three-day familiarisation programme running 6–9 September takes delegates across Ireland before the conference begins. Four routes. Twenty-three colleges. All costs covered.

Beyond the meetings, Druids Glen is one of Ireland’s finest five-star resort hotels, set in the heart of the Wicklow countryside. The conference closes with a special dinner at Killruddery House — one of Ireland’s most storied historic estates — just minutes from the venue.

Explore Ireland before the conference

EEI is running a hosted familiarisation programme in the days leading into the conference. Four routes cover Connacht, Munster, Leinster, and Dublin — visiting 23 EEI-accredited schools across the country, with accommodation, all meals, cultural excursions, and transport fully included.

Fam trip delegates transfer directly to Druids Glen on Wednesday 9 September in time for the conference opening that evening.

Places are limited to 12 per route and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration deadline is 31st July 2026.

We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our conference and supporting the restoration of Irish nature.

Delegates receive badges made from seed paper, which can be planted to grow wildflowers after the event. 

In partnership with Reforest Nation, we plant a native Irish tree on behalf of each delegate, contributing to the restoration of Ireland’s natural habitats.
